Investing - August 2006

1. If federal Funds Rate is the lending rate between institutions to institutions on overnight basis, how does that affect us or economy?

2. The interest rate we earne from depositing our money in the banks, what does this rate base on?

3. Can institutions deposit their money in Central Bank or Federal Reserves (I don't know if they are the same). Do they earn interests from that?

I have a lot of investments in stock thru my 403B. Will this make me lose huge amouts of money? Will it recover after about 20 years?
Last but not least would you leave these "risky stock market investments" where they are? Lincoln FInancial is running my 403B. I dont want to retire for about 25 years.

My broker has sold my entire holding and has encashed money fraudulently. He is a sub broker of a reputed brokerage house. Brokerage house is willing to compensate me to the tune of present value of my portfolio, which is 75% of what it was when sold off by the broker. I would like to know if there are any groups or forum who can help me as there are atleast 10 more people like me in my neighbourhood.

Hi, i found out about an investment fund for "big boys" with a minimum entrance of 100,000 euro. After which you get a 100% guaranteed return of 10% annually and can deposit and withdraw when you wish. (i need to double check if this is really true). My question is: would it make sense to borrow from my bank 100,000 euro and invest into this fund. I haven't checked with my bank yet, but i would expect a much lower the borrowing interest rate?
Thank you for all your advice.

I started getting child support after being divorced since 1989. The kids are raised, but I guess the judge didn't forget, so now I have money coming in like manna from heaven. I go to the bank, cash the checks and purchase I bonds. Should I be putting this money in some other type investment? I am not about to give it to my grown irresponsible kids.
